The event shall be held at the Methodist University College Campus on December 22. The theme is “Removing fear of failure as a start of success”. This shall be the 19th Barcamp in Ghana organized by the GhanaThink Foundation since 2008 as part of building a movement of Ghanaian young changemakers, doers and entrepreneurs.

Barcamp Accra 2012 will be organized in conjunction with the Methodist University College, Ghana (MUCG) Google Developer Group (GDG). In 2012, the Barcamp train has been to Takoradi, Kumasi, Sunyani, Tamale, Cape Coast, Ho, and Tema. The Accra event will take a national stature with a large number of attendees also expected to be Ghanaians who live abroad. We hope to assemble Accra stakeholders to network, build a supportive enterprising community and partner to build together. We will start with the popular speed mentoring sessions with various young Ghanaian achievers. Selected resource personnel will be sharing and leading discussions on failure, removing the fear of failure and how we can fail our way to success in our newly introduced success sessions. We will have breakout sessions on topics of your choice as usual.
